- Abstract
Objective: To outline the epidemiological profile of HIV, syphilis and viral hepatitis in prisoners of liberty in Minas Gerais. Methods: Cross-sectional study with 273 individuals deprived of their liberty. A socioeconomic questionnaire was applied, containing structured questions, and rapid testing for HIV, Syphilis and Hepatitis type 'B' and 'C' was carried out. Results: The average age was 33.3 years. Around 62.3% were single, 53.7% were mixed race, 39.4% had incomplete primary education and 95.1% declared themselves heterosexual. Regarding antibody detection, 6.3% of positive results were observed for anti-HIV, 3.3% for anti-HCV, 1.1% for HBsAg, 11% for treponemal test and 87.5% positive results for the HIV confirmatory test. Conclusion: This research was carried out with men deprived of liberty, with a social profile that highlighted significant individual and collective vulnerabilities, especially due to the inadequate habit of using condoms in heterosexual individuals and low education.
